I'm glad that Marco sent me a patch. But it's just a workaround for the
problem, not a solution. It's not good when you have to resort to the shell,
query some configuration variables and then feeding the result to the next call
of mkoctfile. It should be possible from the Octave prompt and without tedious
fiddling with intermediate variables. If a mkoctfile option "--link-all-libs"
is not acceptable to you, a selective approach to link specific libraries has
to be considered (e.g. "--link BLAS_LIBS", "--link LAPACK_LIBS", …)
